REMINDER!! GCA VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES 

Volunteer Coordinators call out for 2026 GCA Events

We had incredible turnouts at 2025 events including our Halloween Fireworks, Easter Egg Hunt and Family Picnic. 

One of our longstanding December events – the Children’s Christmas Craft Fair, run in conjunction with Glenayre Elementary School as a fundraiser for Crossroads Hospice, had to be cancelled this year due to lack of volunteer support. If you’d like to step up to revitalize and coordinate this event in 2026, we’d love to hear from you! Similarly, we are open to volunteer coordinators wanting to step up to lead new GCA events. Is this you? Please email us at gca.contact@gmail.com

Glenayre Community Association Executive

The GCA Executive can include up to 5 directors so we can potentially include up to two more. If you’re interested in joining the GCA Executive or would like more information on what’s involved, please email gca.contact@gmail.com POSTED: Jul 23.25   UPDATED: Mar 2.26

Snow removal - can you help your neighbour?

Snow can be beautiful but also challenging to clear and navigate. 

If you have neighbours that might need a helping hand, consider reaching out! 

Please note that city bylaws require that you clear sidewalks adjacent to your house of snow and ice within 24 hours of a snowfall. 

Thanks for helping maintain a safe and walkable community during the winter months.  POSTED: Jan 5.26
